Even though I live in Norway i strongly cherish my Scottish roots. Therfore it would be most appreciated (since I suck at photoshop) if someone could make an avatar for me. I was thinking the Android logo, just the standard green android, in a KILT. And yes, I'm fully aware of how stupid it sounds, but I would love you forever if you took the time to do this for me.

Thanks in advance :D (I hope)

Hmmmm

KiltDroid didnt turn out that great, due to my piss poor photoshop skills..

BruDroid looks kinda cool though.... think he might end up in my sig...

Thanks

Thanks a million guys, can't believe i didn't think of Androidify, but i absolutely LOVED the Bru-Droid. Tartan is McFarlane, but i wasn't really going to be picky about it :)

I don't need or want to see my lockscreen slider. I want to see my wallpaper. Can an invisible slider be built at the bottom of the screen?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] enzomtrx:
Widget locker. Solves everything involving the lockscreen.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] blizzard1017:

I think theoretically you can go insert some clear png files in place of the current ones if you are comfortable getting in there.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bobshute:
I have Widget Locker. Widget Locker doesn't have Transparent slider.

I guess I can replace the slider png's with transparent ones in the apk.

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] imekul:
Hi all!

I have been using CM7 RC1 for a while, and recently upgraded to Builds 6 and 7 in order to get 4G working.

I did not wipe when flashing 6 or 7; just flashed the ZIP from the recovery.

Where I would have previously gotten 18-24 hours of use, I now get 4 or 5! It's amazing.

I'm 4h17m off the charger. Display time is 17% (1h33m), Cell standby is 29% (TWOS 6%), Maps is 20% (used it for a little bit while in the car), Phone idle is 17%, and Wi-Fi is 14%. Battery life is at 9 percent.

I'm just surprised at the bad battery life, especially after having real good life in CM7 RC1. Nothing of substance has changed other than flashing Builds 6 and then 7.

Like I said, I did not wipe anything before flashing. Should I have? I might try it, just to be sure...

Others who have CM7 Builds 6-8, could you tell me how your battery life is now compared to RC1? Is it noticeably different? This has been a tremendous drop-off for me, and I'm suspecting this must be some sort of fluke.

Thanks for the input! :-)

[EVO 4G General] imekul:
You're right. My bad. If there's a mod around, please move it!
[EVO 4G General] Greenfieldan:
More than likely it's because of the lack of wipe.

also, hit up the sig for additional stuff if you're still having issues :)
[EVO 4G General] Biofall:
Just answered this

Yeah this issue has been plauging me for awhile. I'm all for system panel pro (love the app; one of the first apps I bought), but it won't help in this instance. The problem is that the battery isn't charging as fast as the numbers say they are. The easiest fix (sadly, as I hate the risk) is an SBC kernel. That way, even though your meter will say 100, it will keep charging till it actually gets to 100. Without SBC, your phone will think it gets to 100 from 50 in an hour (it's probably at about 75) and will just start dying down to 65 (instead of 100 to 90). This means that you could unplug your phone at around 50 percent even though it says 100. The SBC is a good way to confirm, as is just turning off the phone and bump charging (check the link in my sig for the how-to). I'm really curious as to what is going on with the battery meter readings, maybe some dev can comment.

Hope I helped!
[EVO 4G General] Leukay:
I'm using build 6 with Savaged-Zen kernel and I'm getting the absolute best battery life I've ever gotten with my phone. Like others have said, try wiping cache and dalvik and reflashing the rom. If you still get bad battery life, try Savaged-Zen kernel. Its fantastic. I'm currently using the CFS version 0.1.2.
[EVO 4G General] hondoslack:
Did you flash gapps right after flashing cm7? Also, have you checked if the "Dialer" is causing wake lock using spare parts?
[EVO 4G General] noirelion:
CM7 sucks does belong in development section

Its a reaction to a bad rom. No feedback here? Or we just having people endlessly downloading the thing when its obviously flawed? Over and over again?

CM7 with wimax - bites.

Are we supposed to hide that?

Be glad when they get it fixed- but- its flawed as it is. And lord dont try and tether with it....
[EVO 4G General] noirelion:
But you live in a non 4g area dont ya? Best battery life with a crippled rom ...

Rest of us live in 4g land. Using a generic rom with 4g and tethering working- is better than touting these purist roms- that dont Do what Needs to be done... while some kanger kid seems to make it run just fine....

Working as opposed to crippled- go with working ftw

SBC kernals- dont they torch your battery? People are still using sbc kernels?
[EVO 4G General] imekul:
Thanks for the info, fellas.

There was nothing out of the ordinary in Spare Parts. "Dialer" didn't appear to be misbehaving.

@noirelion, I should have mentioned that this is with 4G off.

@Leukay, that sounds really great! Would you mind elaborating on what kind of life you're getting, roughly?

I'll probably end up wiping and reflashing. Since I have Titanium Backup, it's not a huge deal. Just was wondering what in the world was going on!
[EVO 4G General] Jimdog420:
I've been getting 20+ hours with nightly 8 stock kernal. So definitely try wiping

Swyped from a galaxy far far away......
[EVO 4G General] sirmx:
CM7 Wimax works fine for me. Tether, etc. Stock kernel, Savage-Zen, both work fine. Battery life is acceptable, even more so if on a SBC kernel.
[EVO 4G General] Bleys43:
Something is definitely wrong with your install. I'm running nightly 6 with stock kernel, flashed over nightly 5 without a full wipe (wiped dalvik and cache, flashed gapps) and I just got 68 hours of battery life with 28% still left.

Try rebooting to recovery and wiping dalvik again, sometimes on first boot some strange things get cached, and a second dalvik wipe after the first boot can fix some strange behavior.
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
definitely a problem. i was getting 18 hrs (first light then heavy once i got out of school) and now get like 22 estimated with tiamat's noSBC (thats the 3.12 version) same light to heavy situation. try turning off data manually when u dont need it. helped a lot for me. tiamat sleeps like a baby, and gets high 1500's in quadrants.

[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Nobody has managed to get 4G working on an aosp rom other than teamwin for cyanogenmod. The reason sense based roms work is because HTC did the work for them. 4g for cyanogenmod was coded from scratch.
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
Umm ... you know the runtime in the status pane isn't the time off battery right? I mean you don't honestly expect us to believe you went nearly 3 days without a charge...
[EVO 4G General] nosympathy:
I LOL everytime I see someone crying about how they think SBC is bad. just because a few crappy chinese batteries caught fire doesn't mean your stock battery will...

saw in another post that some guy said although there wasn't real proof he was to afraid to risk it.

there is no real proof that cell phones cause cancer but he carries one of those around.

and anywho, i usually get 2+ days on CM7 nightly 6 with WiMax with savage.zen 0.1.0 and now im about to flash 0.1.2 which hopefully runs better.
[EVO 4G General] cas8180:
I also have the same issue.... I tried to wipe my dalvik cache and battery stats last night as others have recommended... But still getting poor battery life and I also usually leave wimax off....
[EVO 4G General] Khilbron:
Dk, wrapkgb wasn't calling you an idiot, if you check his quoted text, he was talking to noirelion, not you.
[EVO 4G General] Greenfieldan:
I'm amazed this hasn't been moved yet...

Anyhow, I don't think you can call a ROM bad when only a few people are having issues when so many people aren't. Seems like user fault to me :rolleyes: :D
[EVO 4G General] jstalford:
Before you wipe.....Titanium isn't working properly on any build after 6 (unless it's fixed in 11). You will have to make sure restore interactively one by one, instead of automated. Look in the nightly thread, there should be a lot of posts on the issue.

Although regardless, I would probably wipe anyway, just wanted to give you a heads up. You could also do a complete wipe, flash nightly 5, titanium restore all you apps, reboot to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik and then flash nightly 8 on top of it.

EDIT: If you do a complete wipe and flash nightly 11, titanium is working again, I believe.
[EVO 4G General] badassdes:
Same here... :(
[EVO 4G General] jstalford:
Not sure this would work, but I would do a complete wipe. Then flash Nightly 11. Charge the phone until it's full by doing this:

Then, wipe battery stats and let the phone run all the way down until it cuts off, and charge it again.
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
To keep it somewhat on-topic, I tend to get flash happy which I think is normally fine but when jumping between 2.2 and 2.3 PLUS jumping between kernals as new as .37 and old as .32 I'm certain my battery life gets mis-reported every now and again.

What seems to work for me is much more simple than what others are posting:

At EoD go ahead and let the phone run until dead. Then, with the phone still off, plug it in and let it charge overnight. If I do this, the next day my battery reads 100% a boot (even if only for a few minutes) and my run time is much more respectable (I get roughly 14-15 hours on CM7 right now, which is less than I get on MIUI, but still way above this abysmal 5 hour benchmark).

Painless process to try, as long as you aren't so obsessed you can sleep at night while your phone is off and charging ;)

EDIT: Oh, and the new twitter app practically wake locks me ... it's refresh interval is every 15minutes which is _way_ too fast and keeps my system from ever sleeping fully. I noticed a dramatic jump when i set it's polling down to the "normal" 1hr refresh which all my other apps use. My e-mail apps are all push configured (g-mail,exchange) so i don't have polling problems there.
[EVO 4G General] wrapkgb:

[EVO 4G General] iamshaked:
Its not obviously flawed if hes in the minority for battery problems.

You just need to learn how to go through the proper channels to obtain help. For instance , Guaranteed that if he would take some time to search the cm7 thread he would find some relevant information.

Or the fact that he possible already figured out his problem IE he needs to wipe data which he exclaimed more times then anyone cared to read.

Or the fact that hes complaining about an already non stable platform thats called nightlys experimental for a reason. breaking forum rules and etiquette to post this here and you backing him up on his and your shortcomings of understanding why both of you are in the wrong.

Not saying we dont want to help. but no need to attack someone for saying that this doesnt belong in this section when hes clearly correct. and you are wrong.

Can someone tell me if ghe siedo 1700 battery is any better then stock in real usage?
[EVO 4G General] Greenfieldan:
For the record people, if you're switching between kernels several times per day you won't notice how they affect your battery. You need to give them at least 1-2 days for them to settle in properly to your phone. :confused:

[EVO 4G General] imekul:
I'm trying Savaged-Zen 0.1.21 CFS, using CM7 Build 11. I did a FULL wipe through recovery. Then I wiped Dalvik. Then I flashed CM Build 11, then Savaged-Zen.

Battery seems DECENT, but not great.

Cell standby is 30%, Wi-Fi 30%, Phone idle 21%, Display 15% (54m) after about three hours. Lost about 20-25% of battery in that time.

Note that Wi-Fi is connected, does not turn off when the phone sleeps, and both the Wi-Fi and phone signals are generally good.

I have tried bump charging, then wiping the battery stats.

In Spare Parts, under "Other usage," the Running and Screen on percentages are pretty close (26% and 24.4%, respectively), so it looks like the phone is sleeping all right.

Under "Partial wake usage," the Android System is using up quite a bit more than anything else.

I'll attach screenshots.

Any thoughts? I doubt the battery itself is bad, as I have tried a few different 1500-mAh batteries, and the experience seems similar.
[EVO 4G General] imekul:
Does this seem like fairly normal behavior? Does "Android System" usually take up the majority of the resources for partial wake usage?
[EVO 4G General] ffolkes:
I'm in the same boat as you, buddy. I've been asking on the CM7 thread for a week now, and people can't figure out why some of us are having such bad battery life. I'm using the tiamat-nosbc kernel for the past day, not really noticed anything better about it over stock. Still can watch my battery plummet in graphs with my eyes.

Gonna try savaged-zen now, see how that goes for the next 24-48 hours.

What PRI are you using? 1.90?
[EVO 4G General] DoctorComrade:
How the **** are you getting 5 hours of battery? I'm on CM7 build 6 and so far I'm at 21+ hours while still on battery with 49% left. Cell standby is at 46%, phone idle 43%, display 5%, Android system 2%, Android OS 2%. At least thats what the battery stats show but what it doesn't show is how much I was on it while at work last night. I am constantly on my phone at work and especially last night. So friggen boring.

Edit: I am not saying he's wrong or anything. I'm just confused.
[EVO 4G General] ffolkes:
My System is 59%. I get the same crappy life after a format all, cleared cache, dalvik, data, system, etc and fresh boot. Apps don't seem to have anything to do with this.
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
download spare parts. go to battery history. hit the top option and select partial wake usage. show us that pic. you definetally have a problem. but then again, you are at about 50% battery. 10 hours is still horrible though. i'm about to get 30 so ya... you need some help.
[EVO 4G General] imekul:
Anybody able to glean anything from my pics? I'd be happy to provide any additional info I could!
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
we cant figure out anything without partial wake usage pics. only guess...
[EVO 4G General] imekul:
Here's my partial wake usage:
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
that actually seems pretty normal. if android systems was wakelocking, it would fill like 95% of the bar. i dont know the problem sadly... and sys is not wakelocking you.
[EVO 4G General] imekul:
Thanks for the insight.

You know... I noticed that with no usage, the battery pretty well holds even. For example, I might only lose 1-2% an hour when the phone is idling and on Wi-Fi.

The draining seems to come when I'm using it, and when the screen is on. That's obviously no surprise, BUT this seems to drain with usage faster than other ROMs/kernels that I have used. I'm wondering if this might be telling in any way... ?
[EVO 4G General] thegregbradley:
I had a similar problem when I was first on Cyanogenmod, I was on release candidate 1, with an older build of SavagedZen. It was not terrible when I wasn't using it, battery would drop maybe 5-9% per hour when it was in my pocket. But I could literally watch the percentages go away when I was using the phone, maybe 1% every five minutes! I got fed up with the HORRIBLE battery life (I too was getting like, 8 hours MAX out of a battery, and this was being very very conservative) AND pretty poor perfomance (choppy ass scrolling, choppy web browsing... RC1 was not good on my phone) so I decided to give Cyanogen one last try, with the latest nightly at the time. Here were my steps.

1. Backup all apps with MyBackup Root

2. Download Cyanogenmod7 (nightly 8 is what I'm running right now) and gAPPS

3. Download SavagedZen 0.1.2 CFS kernel

4. Boot into recovery, nandroid backup

5. Factory data WIPE

6. Wipe cache partition twice

7. Wipe Dalvik Cache twice

8. Flash CM7 nightly 8

9. Flash gApps

10. Reboot - everything worked, reboot again to recovery

11. Wiped cache again twice to be sure

12. Wiped Dalvik again twice to be sure

13. Flashed SavagedZen kernel 0.1.2

14. Reboot. Everything still worked. Cool.

15. Go to Cyangoenmod settings, select "performance"

16. Change governor to "savagedzen," set minimum cpu speed to lowest available, max speed to 998mhz

Then I chilled out till my phone got low on battery. Battery life was okaaaaay... but not good enough. Next came the battery conditioning process, which was INSTRUMENTAL in getting my great battery life that I currently enjoy. This may or may not be the ideal method, but it worked for me:

1. Charged phone to 100%

2. Took off charge as SOON as it hit 100%

3. Turned off phone, plugged it in till it hit green, unplugged, booted again

4. Let a percent or two drop again, plugged in phone with it on, hit 100%, immediately unplugged

5. Reboot to recovery

6. Wiped battery stats

7. Rebooted

8. Let phone die all the way to zero, as in the phone shuts itself down

9. Plugged it in, booted it up, let it charge all the way too 100%

10. Battery calibrated

Immediately I got about 15 hours of battery life. After a day or two of the kernel settling in and the caches filling up, now I get at least 24 hours out of a single charge to 100%. I don't let it sit very long on the charger, I try not to charge overnight due to the SBC in SavagedZen kernel. Today I did let it go overnight (from about midnight to 4:30am, I got about 4 hours of sleep, 4 hours of charge). My phone didn't drop from 100% for at least an hour! I had a pretty heavy usage day today (played NESoid for a little while, lots of texting and twittering, various internet usage, tons of wordfeud and words with friends). I'm at 17 hours with 21% battery left right now. Pretty dang good, better than any sense rom I ever ran. I'm really enjoying CM7 nightly8 right now, still a liiiiitle choppy and buggy, but this is to be expected of the nightly. It's all around fantastic!
[EVO 4G General] imekul:
Wow, thanks for the extremely detailed instructions, thegregbradley!

Couple of questions:

1.) Are you on Wi-Fi most of the time? How's your cell phone signal?

2.) What's the general breakdown of your battery usage? What is the time/percentage for "Display"?

Thanks again!
[EVO 4G General] dougiefresh36:
I've gotten up to 17hrs of battery life when i hit 20%. Im using the latest SZ CFS Kernal, with NO setCPU. Running CM7 Nightly 12. I use facebook, email, text, and about Five, 5minute calls a day. Rarely connect to wifi.

[EVO 4G General] imekul:
Wow, really?! That's amazing.

Would you mind providing a breakdown of the battery usage? Spare Parts, even, if you have that installed.

That's really impressive. Stock battery, I assume?
[EVO 4G General] thegregbradley:
1. I'm never on wifi when I'm out and about (I always turn it off), unless I'm at home, which is about half my time. So I guess you could say I'm on wifi about 50/50. I've actually been turning it off at home sometimes too, just because I have my wifi sleep policy set to "never," so if I know I'm not going to be using the phone (like over night, if I'm not charging it), I'll turn it off. CM7, at least the build I'm using, doesn't seem to be all that efficient with wifi, not nearly as efficient as my Sense based roms were anyway.

2. The majority of my battery drain comes from cell standby, I guess about 30% at the very most? My display usage is never more than 7 or 8%. Under spare parts, the highest listed battery drain for partial wake lock is android system.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acont:
Ok here goes... This is my first thread post here but I am in serious need of help.

I have searched and searched the forums for a hopeful answer but I have found it difficult to find the answer I seek.

So here is the story:

Bought a GT second hand from Akihabara in Japan which was locked to NTT DoCoMo. I was using it as a WIFI only Tab and all was wonderful till my IT brain decided it could be better and I began to tinker.

I had been looking around for a way to make my Australian Virgin Mobile SIM to work on the tab and found a lot of good answers but nothing that would make it work.

I then had the brilliant idea to change the firmware with a European firmware so I could get all the features enabled from a fresh start. Which is where it all went wrong.

I first tried to flash the tab using Odin 1.7 with the P1000XXJK5 euro firmware from samfirmware.com

This failed and left my tab with the picture of a phone and a pc with a dotted line and in between them an exclamation point in a triangle.

After a lot of fiddling (I dont remember what I did but I managed to get rid of that screen had something to do with retrying the flash and it was very late last night at this point) I managed to try again but Odin just kept failing on running the updated firmware.

I then decided that it would be a good idea to run the Rotohammer firmware by following the instructions on this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895827&highlight=sc-01c

This is where I once again received errors from Odin and now my tab is somewhat bricked.

I tried reflashing but same errors every time. (I currently dont have the errors from Odin but I will update my post when I get home)

I can still get to the downloading screen (Yellow triangle with the Android digging) so I am hopeful all is not lost.

So now you have heard my sob story I will ask two questions....

1. Has anyone actually successfully flashed a Japanese model Tab?

2. My only thought/hope at the moment can anyone direct me to an original NTT DoCoMo firmware so I can at least go back to having WIFI only Tab?

Thanks in advance if you can help

Alex
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroboy:
Yes , i suggest you to wait until you get a right firmware for it !

That would probably work if the partitions are a match !

What is this model called btw ?

"NTT DoCoMo Japanese Tab" or there is any model ? such as M180 for korean , P1000 , P100 Sprint , I800 Verizon , etc..
